BEREAN FAMILIES have several opportunities to support the school through the Impact Fund. Berean Academy offers the ninety day Matching Grant Challenge, September through November. It will be followed, in December, by the Berean Christmas Boutique. Our annual banquet will be replaced, in February, by the Berean Showcase giving our students an opportunity to display the excellent education they are receiving at Berean Academy. And in late spring, we will hold our annual Berean Golf Tournament. Please keep these events in mind as you consider how you might support your school. As usual, we appreciate your assistance with any of our fundraising events. Proceeds are used to provide the finest education for your family, your friends and others in the Body of Christ.
What is the Impact Fund?
Like other schools, Berean's tuition covers only part of a student's schooling. The Impact Fund bridges the gap between tuition and the actual cost of a Berean Academy education. Each year we ask you, our parents, grandparents and friends, to support us by giving to the Impact Fund. Everyone can participate. Whether it is $25 or $25,000, your gift is important. Foundations and corporations often consider parent, faculty, staff and board participation when determining whether to make a significant gift to Berean Academy. Your gift, no matter the size, will help us reach our goal. Please consider supporting Berean in this endeavor.
Why give to the Impact Fund?
Giving to the Impact Fund allows Berean Academy to determine where your gift will have the greatest impact on the next generation of Christian leaders. Your gift ensures that Berean Academy students continue to have exceptional opportunities in the areas of academics, athletics and the arts.
Areas enriched by the Impact Fund:
Science and Technology
Enriched academic programs are a first step in providing a superior learning environment. To keep pace with the ever-advancing fields of science and technology, there is need for funding in these disciplines at Berean Academy. Contributions to the Annual Fund will go toward the development of future science/chemistry labs, laboratory equipment, and ongoing computer hardware and software needs.
Athletics
In addition to learning how to kick or throw a ball, there is much more to be learned on the playing field. Students are given the opportunity to learn about the balance of commitment, physical fitness, teamwork and sportsmanship. Godly character is developed and molded as students test their skills against the opponent and one another. Gifts will help purchase equipment, uniforms, and provide for ongoing expansion of our athletic programs.
Financial Aid
Make a lasting difference in the life of a local family. Gifts will be used to assist qualified applicants who might otherwise never be able to attend Berean Academy.
Friends of the Library
Research is at the heart of any educational institution, and a library filled with books which contain the thoughts of the brightest and the best throughout human history is at the heart of a classical and Christian school. Building the library collection is an ongoing endeavor.
Fine Arts
The arts explore how God communicates His glory, beauty and holiness through man’s artistic experience and expression. Your gift expands our palette of arts offerings and events, allowing students to expand their creative minds and connect with their God given, expressive talents.
Ways to Give
You can make contributions of cash, stock, property and other assets. In addition, many corporations offer matching gift programs, allowing friends to double or triple their contributions. Contact your employer for information regarding this giving benefit. Show your support for Berean Academy. Make your gift today.
